Jordan says this morning he is not dropping his bid for speaker. 🤷🏻♀️
Rep. Van Orden (a Jordan supporter) has gone to Israel. That lowers the threshold, but is also one less vote for him.
My god, let us all stop this insanity. I’m disappointed the McHenry plan fell apart.

I'm not sure how to word this, so I'll be clunky, and let me just start by saying I'll vote for Biden. I'm generally supportive of the administration. But does anyone else get bummed about the $$ element? And I understand the importance of natsec. But what could you do with the amount we're talking about if it were invested education, or in ending homelessness or ending hunger in the US. I feel like I did after 9/11, numb and like we're about to spend a truly stupid amount of money on more destruction. I really don't have any answers but I'd love there to be more FDR social programs than weapons. Maybe no one would vote for it. But I feel like we're moving towards war. Maybe I'm wrong. I really respect the people in this group (genuinely, reading got me through the DT years) so if the size of this package makes sense to you, I'd love to know your thoughts.

summerbabe, I generally agree with what you are saying and wish that we were able to do more domestically (although I think the obstructionist Rs of Congress are more at fault than Biden regarding that), but I think the insanely high $$ amounts underscore how quickly we are heading towards war, and this is possibly akin to a hail mary to prevent it.

I'm watching the speaker race on mute at work. Can anyone fill me in why some are getting standing ovations after they vote?

I'm betting Speaker Emerita Pelosi is maybe getting applause because of her history making time as Speaker. I can't watch right now but if others are getting applause I wonder if it's Republicans who change their votes

'Kenneth Chesebro, a lawyer criminally charged in Georgia for his role in what prosecutors describe as a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald J. Trump, accepted a plea deal on Friday, becoming the third of 19 co-defendants to plead guilty in the wide-ranging criminal racketeering indictment that also names Mr. Trump. The plea from Mr. Chesebro, 62, came a day after Sidney K. Powell, another Trump-aligned lawyer charged in the case, pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution. Both defendants had exercised their right to a speedy trial under Georgia law, and had been preparing for jury selection to start on Monday.'

I'm at Pod Save America live and I am so excited I was listening to the episode today and JCF was talking about Youngkin. Someone in the audience yelled something and she laughed and said, “You said it, not me”. Do you remember what they said? I listened to it a few times but couldn’t tell.

Worst part of working at a state agency is having to keep a straight face when someone mentions the governor. More than once I've caught myself just before I've muttered "fuck Glenn youngkin" out loud. Whoopsies! That would be bad, lol.
